Hello, blog-journal-thing. Yesterday, I met President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, of the First Presidency. He shook my hand and it was nice. His wife is adorable.
Today at church, I was released from being a Gospel Doctrine instructor, which kind of makes me sad. I'm now the 1st counselor in the Relief Society. Do not get me wrong, this will be a good calling too - I just always like teaching... so anyway. :)
At church, it was Fast and Testimony meeting, which is always nice. Then I taught my last lesson - it went alright. It was on President Brigham Young, and the beginnings of the journey west. It was nice, people really brought up good points and it was a pretty good discussion. It wasn't my favorite lesson ever, but that's ok.
Relief Society we talked about temples and the importance of attending regularly. I definitely need to be better about that.
This week I was able to be part of some service activities which was a nice break from my usual self-centered-ness. :) I want to improve my attitude and feel like a more deliberate effort to be of service to others could really help. One step at a time.
Also, I have a testimony about bearing testimonies, ever since I heard Elder Holland's talk where he told us to lean on his strength when we need it, for some reason it just clicked more firmly for me. We need to hear reminders of other people's journeys, and their faith. It reminds us that we can have faith too. Surround yourself with goodness and strength, and you will be an example for others too.
